F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Amos 1:11-15

Judah Shall Be Judged also Amos 1:11-15 ; Amos 2:1-5 Edom was Esau; that is, the people were closely akin to Israel; perhaps for that very reason the hatred on either side became more and more inveterate from the days of the Exodus to the siege and fall of Jerusalem, Psalms 137:7-8 . Teman and Bozrah were principal cities, the first being named after Esau’s grandson, Genesis 36:11 . Isaiah, in after years, saw the warrior Angel of Jehovah coming up from Edom to the foothills of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Amos 1:1-15

The second verse of this first chapter gives the key to the book. Jehovah declared Himself in judgment. Beginning at the point farthest from Israel, the prophet delivered his messages to the nations as such. Each in turn passes before Jehovah, and receives sentence. The sin of Syria was cruelty. At last, sentence was uttered; the flame would devour, all defense would be useless, and the people would be driven into captivity. The sin of Philistia had been the slave trade. Here, as before, and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 1:3-15

Seven Judgments Against The Neighbouring Nations, Including Judah (Amos 1:3 to Amos 2:5 ). The announcing of YHWH’s judgments on seven nations (including Judah) can be looked at in two ways. First it was an assurance to Israel that YHWH was watching over their basic interests and had observed the behaviour of the nations round about. By this he was gaining their interest. But even more importantly, as the inclusion of Judah brings out, Amos was cleverly gaining Israel’s consent to his... read more

4). YHWH’s Judgment On Edom (Amos 1:11-12 ). Philistia, Tyre and Edom were clearly joined together in a carefully organised slave-trading cartel, but note the growth in relative guilt as one follows the other. Philistia were at least not related to Israel, but Tyre was Israel’s longstanding treaty partner, and Edom was Israel’s brother! Amos 1:11-12 “Thus says YHWH. For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four, I will not turn away his punishment, Because he pursued his brother with the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 1:9-11

Amos 1:9 f. On Tyre.— Possibly an exilic or post-exilic insertion. The mention of the Phœ nicians would not evoke such hostile feelings, but they too had repeatedly perpetrated crimes that called aloud for punishment. The whole land is here represented by its chief city, Tyre. Tyre is charged with committing a sin similar to that of Gaza. But the Tyrians simply “ deliver up (or over) “ the captives to Edom (or to Aram; see on Amos 1:7). It is added that they “ did not remember the covenant... read more

Three transgressions: see Amos 1:3. Edom: see Amos 1:6. I will not turn away the punishment thereof: see Amos 1:3. He did pursue; watch for and lay hold on every occasion to oppress Israel. His brother; Jacob and his posterity here are meant, as is Esau and his posterity. Esau personally considered was an enemy to the person of Jacob, and vowed his ruin, forced him to flee into Padan-aram, and on his return thence frighted Jacob too by coming out with four hundred men armed; the posterity of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Amos 1:1-15

Let's turn now to the book of Amos. In the first verse of Amos he introduces himself.These are the words of Amos, who was among the herdmen [or a shepherd] at Tekoa ( Amos 1:1 ),Now Tekoa is a little valley going down toward the Dead Sea from the area of Bethlehem. Actually, if you're standing on Herodian, that fortress that Herod built sort of east off Bethlehem, looking south, you're looking into the valley of Tekoa, the area from which Amos came. He was a herdsman, and then in chapter 7 he... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Amos 1:1-15

Amos 1:1 . The words of Amos, written with his own hand. He does not name his parents, because they were plain country people. He was himself among the herdmen of Tekoa, a small city twelve miles south of Jerusalem, 2 Chronicles 11:5-6; 2 Chronicles 20:20, and was called of God, like David from the flocks, and Elisha from the plow, to be a prophet of the Lord. This is Jehovah’s right, a right he never surrendered, either to the synagogue or the vatican at Rome. Two years before the... read more

It may be treated jointly. Three and foyer make seven. Thus may be indicated the multitude and magnitude of the wickedness, and the greatness and heaviness of the punishment. It may be treated severally, and in this sense; going on still, even to a fourth time, in provoking Me, and adding obstinacy and impenitency to their... read more
